“Before coming to NWC, I had strong reactions to food, felt very frustrated and didn’t want to eat anymore! I couldn’t tell how I would feel after eating and was tired of the irritability, muscle spasms, mood swings, tiredness and depression I was experiencing. I was overwhelmed with food/diet choices and by not knowing what was best or why. Now, after I eat, 99% of the time I feel great. I avoid the foods that I am sensitive to and I feel much more vitality and health in my body. I also feel a sense of empowerment that I can do something about how I feel and I can create health. I feel strong and balanced and I know that my body is getting the nutrition it needs to function properly. I know the support it needs to digest food properly.”
Cara, mother
“Prior to seeing Tara I had almost constant hot flashes, I was always tired and I couldn’t loose weight. Since starting the program my hot flashes are gone, I have much more energy and I reached my goal weight. Thank you, Tara for giving me my life back!”
Susan, mother and wife
“Before coming to see Tara I suffered with allergies and ‘the two year cough.’ When I started with Tara I was taking three different allergy medicines a day. After two weeks I had dropped all three medications and the “two year cough” was gone. I also lost ten pounds and was never hungry between meals. I have learned to keep my blood sugar level steady throughout the day. I no longer crave bread, cookies, bagels or sugar. I have found alternatives for wheat and intend to stay wheat free.”
Nancy, aerobics instructor
I am 26 years old. I have suffered from an array of things my whole life. I have seen: Allergists, Audiologists, Chiropractors, Dermatologists, Endocrinologists, Otolaryngists, Physical Therapists, Podiatrists, Psychologists, and Rheumatologists. I have been tested and treated for just about everything under the sun. My main complaints have been: joint and muscle pain, fatigue, psoriasis, headaches, fainting and dizzy spells, ringing in the ears and chronic ear popping, insomnia, restless leg syndrome, pain associated with endometriosis and fibroids in my uterus, chronic and sever angioderma (swelling due to food allergies), tremors, elevated liver enzymes, eating disorders and of course depression. I was taken out of gym and sports when I was fourteen. I had 4 fibroids removed from my uterus during a c-section, when I was 25. For a long time I just thought that this was normal and that everyone feels this way. I had no idea how people could get anything done, I certainly couldn’t. Most days I didn’t even want to get out of bed. Almost all prescribed medications had more side affects than were helpful. The only thing that kept me going was my family. Now, I get out of bed in the morning and know I’m going to have a good day. I can play with my daughter and clean the house. I can shave my legs everyday – with psoriasis sometimes I would have to wait a full week between shaving. I take my daughter for walks and even go jogging – something I never thought I would be able to do. I actually have headache-fee days and restful nights. My hands don’t shake anymore and dizzy spells are few and far between. I have energy and I love being active. Food is still an issue with me, but as long as I stick to the food and supplement plan I don’t have reactions or eat emotionally. I can’t say I am 100%, but I wouldn’t even know what that would be anyway. I am still healing and every day is better than the last. I have been sick my whole life, I know it will take time for my body to heal, but for only a few short months on the program I think I am doing very well."
Aubrey, mother
“Before coming to see Tara, I had struggled with recurring bouts of anemia and my iron levels were below the lowest limit. I had no trouble with daily activities, but I felt tired, even on 8 hours of sleep. And my workouts were becoming increasingly more difficult instead of better. I was medically treated with iron supplements but every time I weaned off of them, the anemia returned. Written information about nutrition was confusing and contradictory. After working with Tara for a year, I haven’t had any recurrence of anemia. After several months of working with Tara, my iron levels were at the low end of normal. One year later they are at the top of the chart. I also don’t experience anymore PMS symptoms (frequent ankle swelling was routine), or periods of extreme fatigue. I now understand how to eat to avoid anemia. The supplementation routine I was initially on (by Tara) has been decreased and I feel great!”

“When I came to the Wellness Center, I felt tired and had digestion and nasal problems. Overall I did not feel 100% healthy. After five weeks I now feel as good as I did 25 years ago! I have a strong feeling of wellbeing, I feel more alert and my digestion and nasal problems have all cleared.”
Conrad, Lab. Tech
“Before seeing Tara, I was suffering from a terrible case of hives. I have had this happen other times in my life and my doctors resorted to steroids, which they acknowledged would be damaging to my bone health. This time I tried to treat my hives with anti-histamines, which left me feeling miserable and tired. Worse, they did not get rid of the hives, which kept recurring. I was dreading the possibility that this bout of hives might last a year or more (as it had in the past). Tara taught me the EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), which is nothing more than miraculous. It broke the hives and when I perform the EFT exercises consistently, keeps the hives in check. I have since learned to use the EFT for other problems. I periodically have wrist pain and lose all strength. When that happens EFT brings relief and restores my strength.”

“Before coming to see Tara I had lost so much weight that my health was threatened. I was also dealing with so much anxiety that I could barely think clearly. I have now gained more than ten pounds and suffer very little anxiety. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.”
Greg U.
“I used to have painful arthritic finger joints, tummy bulging, lagging energy and heaviness in my stomach due to eating wheat and sugar frequently. I also used to work until exhaustion. Now I have very little and infrequent pain in my finger joints, I dropped more than five pounds, lowered my body fat and toned my muscles. My energy and excitement for life are abundant! I eat very few sweets and I know how to take rest and play breaks!”
Sandy, activist
“Before coming to see Tara I had gained 15pounds, felt sluggish, my skin was oily, I felt bloated every time I ate and I hardly had any energy. Now everything is different! I had never experienced such quick improvement. I am feeling full of energy, running at ease and my mood has improved.”
Gillen, marathon runner
“Adhering to the nutritional program established by Tara has been the best thing I have ever done for myself. After years of suffering from low energy, fibromyalgia and adrenal fatigue, I’m back in the game—skiing, kayaking, cycling and traveling. Her coaching skills are invaluable!”
Mary, mother and poet
“Tara’s dedication to whole foods and supplements comes from her own rise to well-being. She walks her talk and has made me a believer.”

“Thank you Tara, I’ve really noticed a positive difference in hormone balance. It’s fascinating!”
